Libya announces the death of Gaddafi's youngest son and three grandchildren in the bombing
official spokesman announced that an attack on the house of the dictator's son Saif killed the Arab and Gaddafi's three grandchildren
A NATO bombing has claimed the life of the sixth son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Arab Saif Qaddafi, and three of his grandchildren, as reported by a spokesman of the Government of Libya. The Alliance has not yet confirmed nor denied the attack and has merely stated that the Gaddafi family is not one of the objectives of their attacks and regret "any human loss."
In a press conference Tripoli broadcast by state television, Mussa Ibrahim, the government spokesman said Muammar Gaddafi and his wife were in the house of Saif al Arab in the bombing, but were unharmed.
Libyan soldiers have led to international journalists to the house in a wealthy neighborhood in Tripoli and appeared beaten at least three missiles. The property was completely destroyed, but no bodies have been seen. "It's unbelievable that someone could survive in the neighborhood, the house is absolutely devastated, struck by two bombs, with a large crater," said a CNN reporter in telephone connection from Tripoli.
A spokesman for the opposition Libya has said he doubts the veracity of the event. "We do not believe that's true," said Abdul Hafiz Ghoga in Benghazi, a member of Parliament from the Libyan National Transitional Council (CNT). "They are all nonsense of the scheme in a desperate attempt to obtain some international sympathy. This regime is lying and lying." Just in case the rebels held in Benghazi the news firing into the air with everything they had and blowing the horns along the promenade of the city.
No reaction
NATO NATO took several hours to react to the Libyan announcement. Charles Bouchard, a spokesman for the Alliance, said almost five hours after tonight exisía intention to attack members of the Gaddafi. "All NATO targets are military. Do not attack individuals," he said. "I'm aware of unconfirmed reports on Gaddafi family members dead. We would hate any human loss, merely commented after acknowledging that if there had been bombing various targets" military "in Tripoli.
confirmed, the death of Saif el Arab could have legal consequences. Earlier this week the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Gene Cretz, acknowledged that U.S. law would punish any attempt to attack Gaddafi.
"I do not think any credible or individual provision for the solution to the problem Libyan possible without overthrowing Gaddafi in one way or another, "he said." But our work and our goal is to find a political solution by the means that allow our laws. "
U.S. political leaders asked last weekend to end the life of the dictator, although the UN resolution does not authorize it. Russia and China have openly opposed to Gaddafi's personal persecution and NATO military operations beyond fly zone.
In any case, is not the first time that Gaddafi is in the center of an airstrike. In 1986 Ronald Reagan ordered the bombing of the palace complex Bab Azizia, and Friday, while the dictator gave his speech on television, the allies bombed a building near the studio.
According to CNN, members of Qadhafi's inner circle have been calling representatives of the U.S. government to announce that "someone important" the regime is dead, without specifying who.
"This is the law of the jungle," Mussa Ibrahim assured, the government spokesman, after the news to the press. "After this we think it is clear to everyone that what is happening in Libya has nothing to do with the protection of civilians," said Ibrahim. "If necessary, fight and fight. The leader yesterday offered peace to NATO, and NATO has rejected it, "he said in relation to the speech on Friday night when the dictator reached out to allies provided they respect their power in Libya and withdraw from the country.
A controversial child
the Arab Saif Qaddafi, the Libyan dictator's son allegedly killed by an Allied attack at his home in Tripoli, was born in 1982. His mother was the second wife of Muammar , Safia Farkash.
Benjamin of Gaddafi, Saif el Arab showed a propensity for scandals remarkable even for a family with a tendency to falling. At the same time, it was I had less weight in the scheme to the scheme. Proof of interest for power is that he had no military training or exercising public office as several of his brothers. He chose to study science.
university began in Germany in 2006. That same year sparked a diplomatic row between Berlin and Tripoli after the Germanic police would open an investigation for attempting to intimidate a janitor who wanted him out of a nightclub when his girlfriend began to undress on the dance floor. Al Arab threatened to throw acid in her face and the goalkeeper went to the police. His father responded to the complaint naming offense the son of the Libyan diplomatic mission in the European country. It was the debut of a young man who until then had shown a low public profile: Moliro did not try to stick to anyone, be soccer star (doped) film producer in Hollywood and become a doctor with a fake university thesis, to name some of the reasons why the cubs are known dictator.
Since that time, the Arab name of Saif spent himself in the German press. Excessive noise of his Ferrari made the Munich police arrested him again and the car was seized. In 2008 he investigated on suspicion that he had carried an assault rifle Munich to Paris in a car with diplomatic plates. Eventually the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.
Libyan government statement
This is what Ibrahim Mussa, the Libyan government spokesman, said on television about the alleged attack on NATO's home Saif Islam Gaddafi:
"Saif El Arab Muammar Gaddafi called Ruba by most Libyans, the youngest of the sons of the leader, was attacked tonight. Gaddafi and his wife were there, as well as other relatives and friends. The result of the attack was the martyrdom of brother Saif el Arab, 29, and three of the grandchildren of the leader. The leader keeps good health, was not injured, as his wife, and others if they were badly injured in the attack. This is a direct operation designed to assassinate the leader of this country. That is not allowed by international law or by any principle. If people crying on the protection of the population, we have stated repeatedly that we are prepared to negotiate to the roadmaps for peace, for political transition to elections to the referendum. A NATO does not care to check our promises, nor the West checking our statements, only deals to steal our freedom, stealing our wealth, which is oil and our right to decide our future as Libyans. "
NATO gives no credence to the compromise offer by Gaddafi
The Alliance calls for" actions not words "to the Libyan dictator .- State television says the allies tried to kill him while pronounced the speech, which was open to negotiate but not to leave Libya
not negotiation or cease-fire. NATO and the Libyan rebels are unwilling to give respite to Muammar Gaddafi. For the first time since the riots that Arab countries are sacuediendo extended to Libya, in February, the Libyan dictator has been open to dialogue. "Let us negotiate with you, with countries attack us, "Gaddafi said in a speech broadcast last night by state television.
" Gaddafi's regime has lost all credibility, "said a spokesman responded Transitional National Council. A position can be extended to the Atlantic Alliance. Among other things because in the 80-minute length of his speech, the Libyan dictator made clear that Libya would not go and threaten to bring the war to Italy. It is time "to the acts and not for words, "said a senior NATO." The regime has repeatedly announced ceasefire, but has continued with attacks against towns and rebel (...). Any high fire must be credible and verifiable, "he added.
television report an attempt to kill Qaddafi
Meanwhile, Libyan state television has accused NATO of trying to kill Gaddafi to bomb Tripoli a point near the building from which the Libyan leader was giving his speech. "A building close to the Libyan TV has been bombarded during the broadcast of Gaddafi's speech, which implies that the purpose of it was the leader of the revolution," he said last night Television reporters after the dictator's message. The image blinked more than once during the speech.
In his speech, Gadhafi called NATO to start negotiations to end air strikes against the African country, but always from a very particular perspective: "We did not attack and did not cross the sea (...) Why are attacking us?" asked the Libyan leader. "Let us negotiate with you, with countries that attack us. Let us negotiate," he insisted while adding that if what they want the coalition countries is oil there is no problem to close contracts in this sense .
was more than an hour of words, which guaranteed that the dictator is prepared to reach a ceasefire, in exchange for all parties involved in conflict and not only their forces.
In one of their classic years of ambiguity, as he feigned to reach out to rebels and the international coalition, the dictator warned that nobody will be forced to leave the country. "I will not leave my country (...) nobody can force me to leave my country and nobody can tell me who does not fight for him," he said.
try to isolate
Misrata
The television episode, around two-thirty in the early hours, came just hours after NATO announced that the regime's forces were undermining the ground near the port of Misrata to prevent the landing of humanitarian aid. The city is the third largest and the only one that controls the western opposition to the regime, so it suffers from two months ago a hard crash.
"Some ships, which we assume were pro-Gaddafi laid mines indiscriminately," said NATO's military commander, Brigadier Rob Weighill, but then said that NATO ships have begun the process of demining. Source

chain regime continues to accuse NATO of trying to kill Gadhafi, who may, before this possibility could have chosen to be less challenging the international community. According to Al Galal, Gadhafi wants to show some humanity, when everyone in Benghazi are sure they do not have and never has had in the almost 42 years of dictatorship. After his speech late at night, which may also indicate that the colonel is extreme caution in their outputs, Benghazi woke up with a hangover of the new words for "crazy" as you describe the rebels.
